Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Osorolh Darar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Terry Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones has chosen Nas - Hero as his entrance music. Osorolh Darar had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
